update

Let's see, what's happened in the last 10 days?
Well, our anniversary was on the 15th and we were both sick, so we did nothing, but I did get come cool faeries






Over the weekend, I made sesame chicken and wonton soup as an anniversary present to whitey. Most of you probably think that this is not a big deal, but we have no chinese restaurant worth eating at unless we go all the way to spokane, which is 1.5-2 hours. I am happy to say that the sesame chicken was as good as any i've had at any restaurant and the wontons tasted better than the ones that i've had from restaurants.
The extra fun part of that is that we had a wonton/egg roll extravaganza yesterday. I made jalapeno brie baked wontons, gorgonzola pear baked wontons, chicken cheese fajita fried eggrolls, and fried apple pie eggrolls for dinner yesterday. YUM YUM YUM!
Today I went to one of the assisted living homes that several of our clients live at for thanksgiving lunch. I am so glad I went; I had an absolute blast. Me and one of the clients giggled our way through lunch, which was fairly tasty considering it was basically cafeteria food.

We cooked turkey, mashed potatoes, stove top, gravy, carrots, and pillsbury biscuits. We went the easy route and ordered our pumpkin pie from panhandler pies here. Whitey dug some of our games out of the box and we played gloom and baloon cup today.
Baloon cup is one of my all time favorites for 2 players and gloom is pretty cool (we played for the first time today). There are some pretty mean cards in that game, and it's really funny in a mordbid sort of way. I'd definitely reccommend it.
Also, my husband says, "moo".

stupid sick!

The spiny anteaters that are in my husband's throat apparently had their cousins move in to my throat at 3 am. I woke up with an absolute burning in the back of my throat and said "GODDAMNIT!" So then I had to figure out a way to get drug interaction information at 3 am (praise jesus for 24 hour pharmacies). I would like to go back to bed because the spinyness seems to be calmed down between the water, milk and drugs, but I now face the problem that I need to be awake around 8:30 to call people to try to get someone to cover my caseload today. I was HOPING that if I was going to get sick, it would happen before 9 pm yesterday, so I could make arrangements to have my caseload covered before everyone gets up and at em on monday morning, but it ALWAYS happens that I get sick at the last damn minute. *grumble*. I'm actually not doing that bad and could probably manage myself at work at least for a little while. However, #1 I don't know that for certain #2 If I'm wrong I could make myself more sick and rediculously miserable and #3 Regardless of how I feel, I'm probably contagious, and the nature of my job makes it difficult for me to avoid getting others sick.

i promised my husband...

...that i would write in my blog that he is really not an asshole.
He made me ride in the car all the way to spokane with a meal stop and walking around target to "kill time" without me having a damn clue what was going on. The only thing that kept me from throwing up was the fact that I could distract myself with the PSP (which he actually let me bring in the car). This rather sucked. Two plus hours on the road with no fucking idea where I'm going. I assumed he was either going to lead me to the end of a rainbow and shower me with gold or pull off to the side of the road, tie bricks to my feet and dump me in the spokane river.

Thankfully, I am not currently typing this while flying out over the edge of the falls in Spokane. However, I also do not currently have gold coins sprinkled in my hair, but I did get to hear Henry Rollins walk up on stage in front of me and proceed to spew amazingness from his mouth for TWO AND A HALF HOURS. This guy never fucking ceases to amaze me. He has numerous spoken word CD's out and a DVD all of which have different stories (okay there's one repeat, but it doesn't even sound like the same story by the time he's finished), and then he gets up on stage for two and a half hours and doesn't repeat a bit of what's on the CD's. IT was fucking amazing. IF you've never seen Henry's spoken word tour, you should totally check it out. For those of you who are going "what? henry rollins sings! what is this about him telling stories?", check out the CD merchandise section of http://www.henryrollins.com/ and pick up the CD called "Eric the pilot". You'll be hooked immediately, I promise.
Anyways, after the show, it was snowing so we stayed the night in a hotel and then we went to an arcade/indoor golf/family fun place. Later we had dinner at panhandler piw, which is my favorite restaurant AND which will give you FREE DINNER AND PIE on your birthday if you bring in your ID.
